Nicely excecuted, especially the eyes are noticeable and the skin tone is suitable with the winter. But, should the wind be a bit more visible? I feel the beauty, the coldness and just a mild breeze, which should be more focused. Moreover, seems like you use "complex brush" to make the ice flakes (as defined by the guideline for digital painting contest, and not allowed to be used), maybe it depends on the mod, but you should notice. Good luck, author

I'll try to make the wind more visible, but the snowflakes, I made my own snowflake and then used the brush optins to scatter, size and etc. thank you for the comments (and faves)!!

I think this is the reference for your work (http://faestock.deviantart.com/art/Spring15-136642389). I found it by chance and I'm sure this is the one you used but you didn't mention about that in your SBS. The author of this image is famous in DA and have some strict stock rule, what if she finds out this one?
